Delura NG

Posted by Tanadrine-Studios - February 28th, 2014


Figured i'd put a new universal post here until I have more news to put out. In the meantime, here are some of the plans I have for Delura:

- Replace YouTube videos on the Delura website to Newgrounds embedded ones. I finally got an upgraded internet connection so it'll really cut down the amount of time it'll take to do this. A lot of the Delura videos i've uploaded here were published before NG raised their video size limit which is why everything is chopped into little pieces (IE: all of episode 4 had to be published in separate uploads). I've also learned a thing or two about compressing video more efficiently which helps as well.

- Finish some of the incomplete sections in the Delura website such as details on the galaxy itself, planets, etc.

- Keep comics rolling weekly or bi-weekly while I work on the animated stuff. I know it isn't saying much, but it's better than silence between the gaps of animated publications.

- (long term) introduce premium content to help support Delura's production needs. So far, a large majority of the equipment/software has been funded by a combination of fan support and commercial training content. Of course, this is the "holy grail" of goals in terms of animators and getting paid to do animated content like Delura rather than taking time away to do unrelated things (IE: commercial training content, product visualizations, etc) is mindnumblingly hard.

Anyhow, I may start integrating other things from the Delura site to Newgrounds depending on how things go... i'm tempted to wait until the NG crew rolls out their new site design before doing this.

Sounds like a good plan! The Verizon/Cogent/Netflix war is over, so with any luck, NG won't be experiencing any availability or throttling issues any time soon.

Say you doing anything April 26th? Big party at NG HQ in northern Philly, probably the last one there; Tom's gonna try and sell the office this year, and find more modest digs. It'd be an honor to have you there!

Remember I'll always be around if you want morale support.
